“Italian contralto Cloe Elmo was a vocal force of nature. Hers was not just an easily produced, huge, powerhouse voice, but it was warm and dark as well. Add in a fiery temperament and a fierce, imperious characterization….most surprising is a touching, sympathetic singing of Fedora’s ‘O grandi occhi’ and a gently sad performance of Charlotte’s ‘Letter Scene’ from WERTHER”.
